Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms
The next composer off the rank of birthdays for the month is one Gerald Finzi, England, 14th of July. It seems that he was a highly respected choral composer, so it is fitting that we hear one piece of the many on offer if you care to go searching. There are some pieces that are orchestral; however, I admit I did not feel as drawn to them as to the vocal pieces. This was clearly his forte.
Menonday Art Vibe; The Glasgow Boys Intro
The Glasgow Boys - and yes, there was a Glasgow Girls movement, too! - were very important to the progress of art, not just in Scotland but internationally.
